When have you cried out of joy?

[StayTuned]

Personally, I've never had to cry out of joy. I'm not saying I've never been happy in my life. There were lots of moments where I was so happy I could burst out of my body out of joy. But never have I cried because of it.

I had tear coming from laughter, but that's more of a physical reflex, rather than tears coming from emotions.

In all honesty, the idea to cry out of joy kinda breaks my brain. To me, tears are signs of sadness, or a reflex to clear your eyes ....

Yes, it's not manly.

When we released our software to the client in 2013 after 6 years of development. That 6 years was quite a few years of being certain it was vaporware.

Hm sure plenty of times, last time was when I got new glasses that my parents were kind enough to pay for. My old ones were both ugly and not suitable for my eyesight anymore. I put on the new ones and started crying.

Didn't even have to hold back. No tears present when I am happy.

Scientists say it helps us to cope with our emotions. Who can be "too happy", so that he needs tears to cope with it?

Memorable times this comes to mind;

1) When I was 11 and my parents had bought me one of my mums friends had bred (I had been to see them at a few days old and wanted one so much), they told me they couldn't afford a dog but they would let me get some fish instead. So one day coming home dad said he had bought the tank, so I went in to check and instead there was a puppy in a crate. Auto-cry from happiness xD


2) Next most memorable was 2 years ago when my mums last cancer scan came back clear after a year of chemo. The relief of that just felt overwhelming that she didn't have to have chemo for another year so I cried for joy for her.

After buying glasses?

Really, is something wrong with me, or with the rest of the world to cry over things such as a new pair of glasses?

It happened sometimes, when I was full with Adrenaline from the exercise and pushing past the limits.

Odd, but it happened.

You obviously never had problems with eyesight if you don't understand what a difference being able to see properly does O.o Its sort of a bit deal...
An example, the middle person is how you see the world with glasses, the side people you see without glasses.

Never......

Never......

Hardened by the vihta, I see.

There have been a very few occasions where I've had cause to literally cry out with joy over my 40 years, the most recent of which was finding a community I thought was long gone and had the rare opportunity to be a part of it again.

-3 on both eyes. I'm wearing glasses right now. I was surprised about how bad my eyes really were, I thought everyone would see the way I did. Was I even close to crying? Hardly.

Maybe.

It's not something that I do really. I don't get that emotional by joy or I haven't had happy enough things in my life. The situation that might get me crying out for joy should be something extraordinary. Like a family member getting cured from cancer or surviving some harsh accident. Or if I win in lottery. None of these have happened.

Have done so myself a few times. Very first time was when I was 15, 7 years ago. It was from an ex partner who told me every little thing they loved about me.

Ah, the teenage years. There had been other times since; however, I only recall the first time just enough to explain the outline of it...

Weird then, can't possibly imagine what could make a person happier if not finally solving a massive health issue and being able to be a proper member of society. If a person unable to walk would finally randomly be able to get out of the wheelchair, they would feel the same I imagine. The only bigger thing could be probably not dying? Like, hearing that a terminal illness diagnosis was wrong or something

I was happy. But I didn't cry. It didn't even cross my mind to let tears flow. I cry when I am sad.... I wasn't sad when I got my glasses. I was surprised and happy.

That's what I'm saying. I've read articles about it saying that it's a reflex which helps us to cope with extreme emotions. I must be emotionally dull or something...

I've never cried out of joy because something happened to me, I've cried in joy at the joy of others.

I think last time must've been about a year ago when I got an acceptance letter to the university I had applied to.
